It is recommended on protodb to use “PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 WAYLANDDRV_MONITOR=(monitor) %command%” to get arc raiders running well on cachyos, and i do get great performance when doing so, but i then cant use steam input whatsoever, the game just completely ignores it. Removing the command allows me to use steam input again, but my performance tanks and the game sets my resolution way above what my monitor is capable of. Anyone know any fixes? I cant find anything online

no clue what causes it no clue what to do to fix it, this has been a problem for a while now and i have searched to the best of my ability to fix this issue and cannot. this happens randomly, so it could be instant, or it could be hours into my game. does anyone have any possible fixes i can do? im not sure if im the only one getting this but if i wasn't this bug would be documented more right? so its probably some issue with my hw but i have no clue what it could be... also the game will crash after a bit when this happens, like how it did at 1:30.

Hi, I'm starting using Lutris to run Ubisoft Connect and Far Cry 4 was my first choice. After some tinkering, I was able to run the game but there is a major issue, game looks like this all the time

https://reddit.com/link/1pge4oy/video/oaz0xsltzq5g1/player

Since I'm using Ubisoft Connect to launch the game, I set the game runner options for the Ubisoft Launcher. I set:

- Wine version: GE-Proton (Latest)

- Disable DXVK: If I enable, game gets stuck in initial loading, before the intro videos

This is my system info (sorry, is in Spanish, but info is pretty clear)

I've tried older versions of Proton (9.0-4) but the glitches remain. Anyone knows a possible reason for this and a possible solution?

Thanks.

TL;DR making a Arch Linux PC that can correctly output 240p/480i, do RetroArch Switchres, and run graphical programs at 640x480. (I assume if a game can run at 640x480, it can output to a 480i TV.)

I have a PC I built with a card that outputs analog video. I currently have Batocera running on it, and while I like how it boots into emulationstation and can be controlled with my controller, I feel that I am disabling and changing more features in Batocera rather than using them. I dislike flatpak. Batocera also "feels" like a mobile device OS rather than a x86 PC OS. I feel that I sacrificing customizability and the ability to use my PC as a desktop for the ease of setting things up.

The only reason I use it is because the CRT script is robust and works well, and the packaged tools it provides are extremely useful for scaling the image. I am unsure how I would do this without Batocera.

I really, REALLY do not like how Batocera handles Retroarch cfg. It just makes things a big hassle, while trying to simplify things. That seems to be the main gripe I have with the entire OS.

My dream would be a Linux PC (Arch most likely) that boots into something similar to emulationstation (I can program this myself) that I can launch games from (which is what batocera is) but also have the ability to install Arch packages and play PC games easily, like the Touhou games on my crt.

For example, Touhou 6 is a pain in the ASS to get running on Linux (Windows too), and requires specific Wine prefix settings and patches and locale to get it running. Doing that on Batocera sounds awful, if it is even possible.

Also, Steam games. Batocera does support Steam, although I have heard that it isn't super well supported.

I apologize for the deranged way I write. I have issues

Title. Ever since installation about a month ago, the game has validated literally every time I start steam, about 1.7GB. Tried manual validation, no dice.

Is there any way to fix this issue or at the very least disable validation for this game? Thanks in advance.

Gonna be honest im at a loss. Celeste has worked fine for me for quite some time and i cant find a single other person out there who has the same issue. this is the output i get from my terminal:

Debug info from gdb:

mono_gdb_render_native_backtraces not supported on this platform, unable to find gdb or lldb

pid 10629 != 10626, skipping destruction (fork without exec?)

Got a SIGSEGV while executing native code. This usually indicates

a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries

used by your application.

Proton also used to work just fine, but now when i try to run Celeste with proton i get this:

ERROR: ld.so: object '~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.

I dont know where to begin with figuring this issue out. I know its not a driver conflict, the only nvidia related thing on my arch distro is the nvidia-utils that are required by steam. Hollow Knight: Silksong works just fine too.

SPECS:

i7-9700k, AMD RX7900TXT, 32gb ddr4 ram, 4tb nvme (with a 1tb arch partition, 3tb windows partition)

So, I installed Nobara Official KDE Plasma Linux yesterday, switching from Windows. I am trying to play Marvel Rivals and other games, but performance is quite abysmal compared to Windows, and I knew with right optimizing, it absolutely should not be, should be at least on par. For Rivals, I tried different proton versions, using Feral gamemode, giving the game correct write permissions to gamemode.ini, using different launch flags. Nothing made it go above 45 fps in the practice rage, whereas before, it would get basically fully stable 60 fps in the practice range. So, I looked it up and heard Wayland Plasma session causes glitches and performance problems using Nvidia cards and drivers, especially older cards like my GTX 1050ti and the latest closed source Linux drivers I installed onto my Linux. So I installed Plasma X11, the whole X11 package, every dependency met. I even rebooted after this change, but as shown in the video, every time I try to log in with the Plasma X11 session, it shows my Dell screen for a second, tries to load, then immediately boots me back to the login screen.

I'm kinda stuck as to what to do here, does anyone know how to help me?

Hi all, I've been trying to setup a virtual screen for sunshine/moonlight streaming but haven't managed to get the screen to actually appear. I've followed this guide to try getting it to work.

For simplicity I downloaded the samsung-q800t-hdmi2.1 edid that the guide was using by clicking the plain on this git page (I haven't used git before, so that may be my screw up there)

The file is in /usr/lib/firmware/edid/

I have a free HDMI-A-1, so I used that

my /etc/kernel/cmdline has drm.edid_firmware=HDMI-A-1:edid/samsung-q800t-hdmi2.1 video=HDMI-A-1:e to the end of it

And finally, what I suspect is the area I messed up at as the guide mentions mkinitcpio, but my EndeavorOS didn't seem to have it, I created /etc/dracut.conf.d/edid.conf
and added:
add_drivers+=" nvidia nvidia_drm "
install_items+=" /usr/lib/firmware/edid/samsung-q800t-hdmi2.1 "

I then ran sudo dracut -f and restarted my pc, with no display tied to the HDMI-A-1.

I am currently running EndeavorOS on wayland with Nvidia if that helps, thanks!

Most Total War titles I play have this strange stutter, and I don't see it with any other games I have played. The Windows versions of Warhammer 3, Rome 2, and Thrones of Britannia all have the exact same problem. The stutter begins the second the game is launched, and it persists regardless of the frame rate. I have tried several things, changing Proton versions, and combing through the Arch & CachyOS wikis to try every work around I could find.

Here is an image of what my btop graphs look like immediately after closing Rome 2: imgur

This is the log generated with PROTON_LOG=1 in the steam launch options: Google Drive

Laptop system information:

OS: CachyOS KERNEL: 6.17.9-2-cachyos PLATFORM: Wayland CPU: 11th Gen Intel Core i7-11800H @ 2.30GHz (integrated) GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Laptop GPU (discrete) GPU DRIVER: NVIDIA 580.105.08 RAM: 32 GB

Proton version I am primarily using: cachyos-10.0-20251126-native

Mesa package version: mesa 1:25.3.1-3

Notes:

Steam was installed through CachyOS Package Manager, version: 1.0.0.85-1

When tested in Windows 11 the stutter isn't present, of course I ran the latest NVIDIA drivers.

I am fairly new to Linux in general, forgive me if I don't understand things. Just know I am very determined to make gaming on Linux work.

I just don't know why my screen configuration sometimes likes to screen itself to both of my monitors. It doesn't seem to be an extended screen option visible like windows where applications settled into the primary monitor. Can someone help on fixing with xorg or with the Nvidia X settings?

I remember when Genshin first launched it was pretty famous that their launcher had a kernel level anti-cheat and got some huge shtick for it. And was wandering on linux how do hoyo's game launchers behave when you run it on wine/proton?

I'm guessing their launchers will still have these anti-cheats, so I was curious in a security sense how their anti-cheat is handled in linux? When you run games like Genshin/ZZZ/Honkai via epic games through hero launcher, or like wise, would that mean they take the same level of kernel access and telemetry no different to running it on a windows PC, or does it report/indicate more isolated information depended on whether you're running it on wine or proton etc?

I'm trying to use the Wiimote+nunchuk with steam games on arch. I follow this guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XWiimote#Connect_the_Wii_Remote

the nunchuk is detected by xwiimote (can see it listed in xwiishow) but once I check in steam input, only the wiimote's inputs are detected.

for more info:

If I check in Dolfin, it show up as 4 devices: nunchuck, infra sensor, accelerometer, and wiimote. If I select the nunchuk, it detect it's joystick and buttons

I tried to use moltengamepad to make a virtual gamepad, it show up in steam input as 4 pads too.

i just downloaded linux mint for the first time and i thought it would run games better but is only giving me headaches, half life 2 just doesnt open and when i use proton i does start but runs very slow under 60fps and i just didnt had these problems in windows 10, half life 2 was running perfect, left for dead was also running good, but now everything runs bad and even has audio stuttering and my pc specs is very bad too but it did run half life 1920x1080 at 60 fps with no problems.

pc specs:

Intel Core i5-4570

Intel HD Graphics 4600
